Open Edge

I get this error.

Couldn't read map file './toolbeta.map'
building intermediate geometry...

### WARNING found #24 degenerate triangles.
building collision geometry...
### ERROR edge #84 is open (red).
### ERROR edge #1066 is open (red).
### ERROR edge #1078 is open (red).
### ERROR edge #1111 is open (red).

### ERROR edge #3879 is open (red).
### ERROR edge #4789 is open (red).
### ERROR failed to build collision geometry.
### ERROR failed to import collision bsp.

I've done an STL Check and looked through the level. Everything seems fine and there aren't any open areas. So any help on what could be the problem would be appreciated.

Are you sure there was nothing selected when you ran stl check?

Yes and I have tried several things I thought might be the issue yet none have worked as of yet.

Everything checks out fine and it exports fine with Blitzkrieg and Bluestreak. I usually get an error upon export if there is something majorly wrong.

Any ideas?

Sorry for DP.

I tried using the 'Cap Holes' modifier in 3ds... and well it speaks for itself...

Code: Select all

One question: Is there a way for me to specify which edge I want selected? I.E. Type in edge 3138 and then it would select it and I could see where it is at.

To my knowledge... no you can not search by edge number like that...... however... something more useful is the .wrl file that is generated when you run tool. (The file will be in the same directory as tool. It will be named <name of map>.wrl )

Import that .wrl into your 3ds scene (uncheck the 3 boxes) and it'll show you where the open edges are.

open edges are over lapping geomtetry so something is overlapping either you find and fix it or you start over and failed to import i have no clue think its because to many open edges i had same prob on my maps and still do

No if it was overlapping it would say overlapping, just import the .wrl thats in your CE folder and it will show you where.

If you have a face that all three points of the triangle are along the same line it will give you an open edge error.

Or if... of course... you have an open edge.....

Ok well I imported the WRL file which I did before but the only difference was I didn't uncheck everything. So now it makes sense... kinda. Pretty much every place where I deleted faces and reattached them to something have errors. Well thanks for the help.
